Rep. Brendan Boyle (D) Penn. to introduce "Stable Genius Act"

"The act would require all presidential candidates to file a Federal Election Commission (FEC) report "certifying that he or she has undergone medical examination by the medical office under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Navy."

"Boyle said in the statement that American voters have the right to know whether a candidate has the mental fortitude to withstand the pressures of the White House."
